Just enough, though. After pondering on that D for a while it finally came to me. EDIT: Created an account and it saved my stats, woohoo! Also, turns out it wasn’t the post number I was remembering, it was my game number that ended in 47. Except I couldn’t see my game number until I created an account. Dopey me. ---
